Paint and Sculpt app for Tablets and Smartphones (with addon?) for Blender
Think of sculpting and painting with your tablet an penciles or smartohone (other editors as well), get one editor window of your project (maybe a possible limitation for better Performance and small displays) and connect it with a running Blender Instance on anny System in network, bluetooth or Cable. Maybe someone can do this by addon but would be nice to have it built in and an official App in App Stores, Softwarecenters, etc.
Why it should happen on those devices and not on Graphic tablets?
Cause lot of people have a smartphone or tablet annyway, only view have a good grafic Tablet with Display. So people have to buy new paraphernalias, they actually dont realy need to do the Task if there is a software for there existing device wich support alle the feautures like pencil sensetivity and stuff. Out of an environmental perspective and minimize the use of physical resources, it may be a good compomise to do not run Blender on small Devices but benefit from their existence. Maybe it may also act as a kind of remote Workstation connection if you are at home (for Professionals wich want to connect to their Workplace) or you may want wo work in the Forest lying under a Tree... Maybe its possible to redouce the need of an air conditioning cause you do not need to sit near a Rendering device or your PC, maybe sitting on a other, cooler place in your home and work on your Tablet, not in your hot office...
There a lot of reasons to do that but what do you think, is it worth the effort?

You can already find apps that let you use android and ios devices as a secondary screen for pc/mac, even with support for pen pressure. This is os level programming and it has no place in a specific app like blender.
Yes, but a specific app, only working with the editor (like widgets) means less scrolling ang maybe a better integration and performance cause its not necasserry to send the hole screen, only the numbers of fields, the layout and UI might be everytime the same and the only thing that might must be send is the 3D viewer, rendering, UV and drawing stuff, maybe nodes, saw it by working with MA Light Consoles and MA3D, was way better to connect software and Console and send only Signaling instead of working by remote and connect internaly to MA3D. In This Video, only from PC to PC but its the same over the Network
Maybe the current development team has already enough to do with "just" one software on three platforms.
